117: Titan Ape, the ultimate land!

Star Dou Great Forest, core area.

A pool of water lay quietly in the forest hollow, like a blue gem.

On the lake shore and its surroundings, exotic flowers and precious grasses bloomed profusely, beautiful and magnificent, like a fairyland on earth.

"Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast!!"

Gazing through the lake surface at the massive phantom figure at the bottom, Su Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

This was his first time facing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, like clearing a game and finally standing before the king-level boss.

That kind of surprise!

It was indescribable.

"Isn't it here?"

Su Ye subconsciously looked around. He wasn't here for the Azure Bull Python, but for the Titan Giant Ape.

The Titan Giant Ape, a Soul Beast whose strength and defense could be called terrifying, was also a representative of Earth-attribute Soul Beasts, containing the Titan bloodline within its body.

PS: In ancient Greek mythology, the Titans were the children of the Earth Goddess.

The Titan was Su Ye's current best choice for Ultimate Earth.

Admittedly, the Titan Giant Ape was not Ultimate Earth, just as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was not Ultimate Gold; both were approximations.

But as long as the blood was sufficient, he could completely synthesize the Ultimate Earth attribute.

Having previously absorbed the Sweet Potato Golden Dragon Immortal Herb, the Ultimate Earth Inner Core was practically in his grasp.

"Azure Bull Python, aren't you going to come out and meet me?"

The grand voice exploded by the lake like a cannonball, mixed with that terrifying mental force, causing the Azure Bull Python's pupils to shrink suddenly.

Splash—

The lake water surged with giant waves, and a pair of massive bull horns emerged from the surface. The Soul Beast was very strange, with bull horns and a bull body, yet it had a body like a dragon or a snake.

Its massive snake body rose from the water, standing nearly forty meters tall, and its overall length was probably over a hundred meters, full of oppressive presence.

"Human!"

"This is not where you should be!"

The Azure Bull Python's voice rumbled low, mixed with dense soul power, as if to imprison everything around it.

The pressure from a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast was like a mountain pressing down, something even a Title Douluo could not ignore.

"A show of strength?"

Su Ye's gaze shifted slightly, and his right arm instantly transformed into the Ice Dragon King Arm Claw.

Whoosh, the Ultimate Ice quickly spread across the lake surface, instantly freezing the flowing water.

And this freezing not only moved forward but also caused the lake water beneath to rapidly freeze.

"This..."

A current surged into its heart, and the Azure Bull Python was momentarily stunned.

When it came back to its senses and saw the lake surface beginning to freeze, a brilliant green light erupted from its body, colliding with the Ultimate Ice.

Boom!

The lake surface exploded with hundred-meter-high waves, and the sky full of water droplets reflected the confrontation between one human and one beast.

Dragon race?

No!!

It's a dragon Soul Bone!

The Azure Bull Python's expression was stern, its massive, drum-like eyes overflowing with a faint green light, and it sternly shouted:

"Human, what are you here for?"

Su Ye smiled faintly and domineeringly shouted:

"Nothing else, a challenge!"

These two seemingly light words stirred up considerable waves on the lake surface, like a cold wind passing through.

The Azure Bull Python was also taken aback, its expression strange.

Although the human before it had extraordinary mental power, and that Soul Bone could make it feel a bloodline pressure.

However, the previous Ultimate Ice energy clearly did not possess the cultivation of a Title Douluo, otherwise, it wouldn't have been easily blocked by it.

Just as the Azure Bull Python was about to speak, the ground suddenly began to tremble, and a colossal creature seemed to be rushing towards them.

Roar—

A furious roar pierced the clouds, and a giant ape leaped out from the forest, a Black Shadow streaking across the sky.

The ape landed by the lake. The moment its exaggeratedly swollen arms and thick legs touched the ground, the entire ground trembled violently.

The ape's eyes were large and wild, its pitch-black body seemed forged from the most solid rock, its surface showing golden crystal-like patterns.

Most striking were its pair of arms, unusually long and thick, especially its fists which were like two raging sledgehammers. That terrifying killing violence reminded one of the dark gold terrorclaw.

Seeing a human trespass into the core area, the Titan Giant Ape glanced apologetically at the Azure Bull Python, then beat its chest and roared angrily at Su Ye, its eyes full of savage beastiality.

Boom—

Boom—

The earth crumbled and mountains shattered. The Titan Giant Ape's use of earth power made Su Ye even happier.

His third Soul Ring was already Ultimate Earth, and fusing the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Ring could also enhance it.

Moreover, the Titan Giant Ape's blood could also bring him an Ultimate Earth Inner Core.

The prerequisite was that he had to defeat these two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts before him.

Boom—

Vast soul power stirred up a great wind on the lake surface. Soul Rings lit up under Su Ye's feet, his black long robe fluttering, looking dashing and domineering.

Those were... four black Soul Rings!

"Human, your...!!"

Black light flared in its pupils, and the Azure Bull Python was so shocked it lost its voice, naturally unwilling to believe what it saw.

Four rings!

All four were ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, and they were not far from a hundred-thousand years.

The Titan Giant Ape's fists landed blankly, its expression also pausing slightly, seemingly trying to comprehend this scene. However, thinking of Su Ye hunting so many ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts, it couldn't help but burn with rage.

"Want to fight?"

"That's perfect then!"

Staring at the two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts before him, the black-clothed youth's voice was cold and icy.

"I also don't like talking nonsense!"

"The purpose of coming here this time is for the Titan Giant Ape."

Su Ye's eyes were cold and disdainful, and he domineeringly snorted, "Of course, I can give you two choices. First, a gamble battle, the winner decides everything."

"If you lose, you can exist as my guardian spirits and still survive."

A purple light lit up in Su Ye's left hand. The Thunderclap Hell Vine was shrinking and coiling on it. Purple Consort's soul had merged, restoring her human form.

This scene caused the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape to momentarily freeze.

Su Ye's words continued.

"Of course, you can also choose a death match. Since it's a death match, both sides will rely on their own abilities. If you lose, you face death."

"No matter which you choose, I will accompany you to the end today!"

Arrogant?

That was merely the youthful spirit and confidence stemming from his strength.

In order to hunt the Titan Giant Ape, Su Ye not only raised all four Soul Rings to eighty thousand years—the most suitable point for him to freely use Soul Skills.

Furthermore, he integrated all his gains during this period in Death Canyon and specifically cultivated mental attacks to ensure foolproof success.

But Su Ye's declaration of war simply didn't put the two beasts in his eyes. The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape's furious pressure roared like volcanoes.

"Thunderclap Hell Vine, are you going to help a human hunt your own kind?"

The Azure Bull Python angrily questioned Purple Consort. This voice was also directed at the Titan Giant Ape, telling it not to act for now.

Having her true form seen through with a single glance, Purple Consort smiled helplessly. However, through their time together, she also understood Su Ye's personality.

After thinking it over, her pupils gradually became resolute. She didn't feel she had done anything wrong.

"His willingness to stand here and challenge you is already my greatest effort."

"Otherwise, you would have no choice. Only death would await you."

"You are not his opponents. Don't seek trouble for yourselves!"
